To remove and re-add the account in Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2007

Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007 offer users the ability to remove an account from their computer, but what if you want to add an account back? In this article, we will walk you through the steps necessary to re-add a user account to Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2007.

You’ll use this same method for Outlook 2010 also .

After opening Mail, click Email Accounts.

Select the Connector account and click Remove.

If you do not have another email account or a pst in your profile, you will need to feature a pst file or add the Exchange account before removing the old account.

After removing the connector account, click new open the auto account setup dialog. If using Outlook 2007, you will need to pick Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP on subsequent screen.

Type your name, email address and password within the fields. After Outlook sets the account up, restart Outlook.

If your Outlook.com account uses a website name not owned by Microsoft, like gmail.com, yahoo.com, comcast.net, etc, youll got to add an Outlook.com alias to the account to line it up as Exchange.

If you employ Outlook 2007 and have two Exchange accounts (either Outlook.com or your corporate account), you will need to use IMAP or POP for one account or use two separate profiles. POP support isn’t enabled by default, you will need to vary this in Outlook.com. (Instructions are at the top of this text .)
